This video from Washington Gun Law, presented by William Kirk, analyzes proposed gun control legislation in Texas. While an article on Bearing Arms suggests Texas is moving towards stricter laws, Kirk argues that the political climate in the Texas Senate and House makes the passage of most of these bills unlikely. He emphasizes the importance of monitoring local state races as rights can be eroded from the bottom up.
